[SOLVED] CustomSettings.ini Could not be Found; ZTI Error rc = 8000

With the exception of two make & models, all machines will get the same Task Sequence.  I was trying to customize the CS.ini for those two system types (focusing on one at a time until I was confident I had it working right) and in doing that I broke something.  Now when I run cscript //nologo D:\DeploymentShare\Scripts\ZTIGather.wsf /debug:true It seems to run fine up to a point then errors out: 

PS H:\> cscript //nologo D:\DeploymentShare\Scripts\ZTIGather.wsf /debug:true

The CustomSettings.ini file exists in the Control directory, and I only have one. What gives?

Short of creating a new deployment share (or starting from scratch), I'm not sure what to do.

How to add Windows Recovery Wizard to LiteTouch?

Hi everybody,

I have searched the forum for the answer and while several people have had similar issues there was no clear solution.

I have integrated DaRT 8.1 tools into MDT 2013, but the Windows Recovery Wizard option is not available when I boot into PXE. I  have Windows ADK installed on the MDT server and Windows 7 DVD source files were imported into the "Operating System" node. I have also added "PrepareWinRE=YES" into customsettings.ini.

What am I doing wrong?

Hey Everyone!

Has anyone seen/found the location of the Windows 10 ADK?  I can only seem to find this driver kit - https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/dn913721(v=vs.8.5).aspx - but it's missing ADK components.  Any help would be appreciated so I can start some testing of Win10 on the SP3 :)  Thanks!

Ryan


EDIT: Yep, figured it out.  I was trying to do too many things at once.  Thanks guys.

Newbie USMT and MDT question

Hi guys,

This is probably a very newbie question :) I understand that USMT is able to backup and restore user profiles. In my organization we have a bunch of users who save data on the root of C drive. Is there any way to automate USMT to also backup files and folders from the C drive which are not already part of Windows installation?

Also, do you guys think USMT the best tool to backup and restore of data to automate PC refresh process?

Thank you!

Steve

working with MDT 2013 & ADK 8.1,

Windows 8.1 x64 deployment fails in section "State Restore" (Deployment Type: NEWCOMPUTER).

RUN: regsvr32.exe /s "C:\Users\ADMINI~1\AppData\Local\Temp\Tools\x64\Micrsoft.BDD.Utility.dll"

go to "%programdata%\microsoft\windows\start menu\programs\startup" and perform the "Litetouch.lnk" with elevated rights (right click run as administrator), the ts will continue and apply the OS without any error message.

join to workgroup instead to domain and the installation will perform without any error...

any help is appreciated.

thx a lot.

The error was AD policy related.

I moved the device to an AD Folder (no policy), deployed the windoows 8 again and moved the box back to the correct ou in TS section PostInstall - Custom Tasks using a ps script.

I did not figure out which policy.

Update: moved from W8.1 EVALUATION to offical release solved my problem!





Passing form collected data to a runbook in MDT2012

$

Hello,

My company has a need for a semi-automatic process of adding a system to an AD Security group during the imaging process.

Orchestrator 2012 was selected for the mechanism to actually perform the action, and functionally, we've got it working.

The challenge now has been to:

- Create a form that includes a manually written list of AD Security groups, using radio buttons as a selection method

- Collecting that data and storing in 2 variables -- somehow

- Pass that data to a the runbook execution piece in MDT -- somehow

I am new-ish to the structure of MDT, and i'm not sure how this is done.

I have the MDT Wizard Editor, in which I designed the form, and I have that form added into the DeployWiz_Definition_ENU.xml file, so when I run LiteTouch.vbs, the form shows up.

Now I need to make it actually do something.

The runbook accepts (2) values:

- Hostname 

- AD Group Name

Questions: 

This form contains a list of radio buttons, each with a specific value that is the simply name of each AD group.

How would you collect the input data from that form, store it, and pass the exact values to the runbook node in the task sequence? How does that work exactly? Task Sequence Variables that are set via one of Initialization or Validation scripts? What parses the input data from the custom form?

Can someone help me out on this one? Am struggling just a bit.

Cant capture a reference image

$

I have in the task sequence a Suspend MDT so that I can update the image then take a snapshot then click resume task sequence and it is then suppose to capture the image. What happens is it appears to do something then logs me out and does not capture anything. I have looked at all the logs I can find and I don't see any errors. I'm guessing that sysprep is not executing. If anyone has run into this before and can help that would be amazing.

Deploy windows 10 MDT

Hello,

I'm trying to deploy windows 10 using MDT 2013.

For some reason when adding a new win 10 task sequence there is no "edit unattended.xml" option in the "os info" tab in the task sequence properties.

There are only "edit unattended.txt" and "edit sysprep.ini" options.

I'm using the most updated win 10 installation, not preview.

Looks like it's causing the instillation not to work since it ends with an error message.

The Build for windows 10 and the language packs are both the same :

What is going wrong?

Hi

I've been trying to build and capture a reference image for Windows 10 Enterprise and it keeps failing at the Sysprep stage.

The following error occurs.

So on first glance looks like content is missing? However I am using the RTM Win 10 Enterprise x64 downloaded from VLSC.

Would be grateful if anyone has any idea why this is failing, if it is missing files / folders from the Windows installer, any idea why they aren't there and if I can get them elsewhere and add them in?

Thanks in advance.

MDT 2013 - NIC Driver Copied but not installed

$

MDT 2013 installing Windows 7 Pro x64

Intel NIC. I downloaded the driver setup from HP Site. I included the driver into the Out of Box Drivers.  The driver is being used by WinPE , the driver is copied to the C Drive, but I don't see anything happening with it after that.

I also did the same thing for the video adapter driver, and that one is installed.

I can't find a DISM.log. There's around 6 setupact.log files on the machine. I looked through these, but they're not small files I'm not sure what text i'm looking for and while I haven't found anything in them, its possible I overlooked them. I did look for the INF name.

So this is my first attempt at using deployment on a physical machine. So no consideration on how this works on other systems is necessary.  Our entire company has 20 PCs, so we don't have a complexity issue to deal with.

WinPE transition with Legacy BIOS and UEFI support

$
0
0

I have a bootable flash drive which boots PE5x32 and PE5x64 via BCD boot menu. These entries work on Legacy mode only as bootmgr was taken from PE2 and bootmgr.efi didn't exist back then.  These two working WinPE5 boot.wim files are used in the following trials. 

The short version of the following is that files copied using MakeWinPEMedia,cmd /ufd will not boot any boot.wim file when a legacy boot option is chosen on the computer's "select a boot device" menu. 

Using ADK 8.1, I created a flash drive using "MakeWinPEMEdia.cmd".  If I point that script at a 64bit WinPE source folder, it makes a bootable flash which only works if I have a 64bit boot.wim and I choose UEFI mode when booting the desktop.  If I choose legacy bios boot, it crashes at NTOSKRNL.exe.  If I choose a 32bit boot.wim, neither Legacy or UEFI work.

If I point "MakeWinPEMedia.cmd" at a 32bit WinPE source folder, it adds the 32bit bootmgr.efi and bootmgr seems to be the same version.  This flash drive will not boot in legacy or UEFI on 32bit or 64bit boot.wim. 

BCDEDIT says that the default boot entry is using \windows\system32\boot\winload.exe which should be appropriate for legacy boot.

The ultimate goal is to have a flash drive with a boot.wim and a boot64.wim file, either of which can be booted in legacy mode or UEFI mode.  If only the 64bit one is supported in UEFI mode, that is acceptable.


Multiple Boot Managers

$

0

So I've been trying to do my first physical machine deployment and I had to do a few rounds of trial and error getting the device drivers and applications to work, and I was finally able to get the Task Sequence to run properly, only now to have an error during Sysprep.

After a few reboots, it craps out saying it can't edit the boot manager.

I searched for solutions, one involved doing an enum of bcdedit firmware and deleting things by their GUID and another solution of changing the registry entry of Setup from 1 to 2.

After I rebooted, I still get the same error AND all the Windows boot managers are still there.

So I figure with the amount of time I wasted on this MDT I'll need to install about 400 computers to ever make this a net savings in time.. in other words, since my office has a total of 20 computers, i'll never get this time back.

So any ideas since all the others I've found have failed.

I am trying to deploy win 7 machine... using MDT 2013, but it stucks on the first screen itself, and says processing boot strap setting, and proceeds half way to Process rules.. nothing beyond...

I tried to manually run ztigather.wsf providing the bootstrap file manually, and error that i get is 

"error - rule Priority not set  in section [Settings]..Error processing ini settings. No further processing. ZTI error - Non zero return code by ZTIGather, rc =1"

here is the bootstrap file that I am feeding in to parse..

Can you please help me if I am missing something... as when I try to parse customsetting.ini using ZtiGather... it goes through... But I am in a middle of nowhere as to why bootstarp throws this error....

Driver Selection Profiles

$
0
0

I am somewhat confused regarding Selection Profiles. We have taken a Win 7 x64 image from a vm . Created a task sequence for this image and set up driver groups. (Using Johan's recommended "Total Control" scenario). When imaging these machines drivers are not being injected. When the drivers were imported into MDT they were expanded from the .exe file. On two models of Lenovo laptops they pxe boot and begin to image. After a restart the nic driver is knocked out and the connection to the deployment share is dropped. After manually installing the driver and hit "retry" the task sequence resumes. When completed there are several drivers missing that we know were imported. 

Anyone who can offer any assistance it would be deeply appreciated.

LTI skips from 62% to 100%

$
0
0

So I've been using MDT and WDS for a while, and a couple of days ago I tried to deploy Windows 7 to some clients, and I started having this issue. 

Depending on how big the .wim file the task sequence is trying to deploy, it will skip the last several percent. In my main .wim, which was updated in late July, it will skip from 62%-100%, as mentioned in the title. However, using a Windows 7 .wim with no updates, it will go up to around% then skip to 100%. After it does this, DISM.exe does its thing, and the Rest of the WinPE parts of the task sequence happen, then the client reboots. It boots up to the starting windows screen, but never gets further, the MS logo doesn't even show up. After a while it gives up and reboots again, saying that windows didn't shut down properly and all the other safemode things, then does the same thing over and over again.

Now, everything was working fine 2 days before I had this issue, and the only things I've done in between then and when the issue started to happen are trying to get multicast to work, and building media intended for USB booting. I let the media build overnight, then began to burn it to a USB disk, but I canceled it halfway through, since it turned out I didn't need it. The only other thing I can recall doing is attempting to get multicast to work, using commands relevant to creating and altering the namespace. I don't know why anything I did with media would cause any problems, however I could see how playing with the multicast setting could cause issues. 

Long story short I was hoping someone who's either had the same issue or knows whats wrong could help me, I'm more than willing to provide more information that could help narrow down possibilities or clarify or anything. 

Thanks!

Cannot Deploy Windows 7 Enterprise into VMware Workstation VM

$

Hi,

I am trying to make a reference image of Windows 7 Enterprise x64. I have the ISO copied over in MDT 2013 and a deployment task ready to go. Each time I try the deployment, I get a Windows Boot Manager error indicating:

\Windows\System32\drivers\msisadrv.sys

Status:0xc0000428

Info: Windows cannot identify the digital signature for this file.

If I press F8 and boot without checking driver signatures, I get a similar error with pci.sys. There are no VMware-specific drivers in my repository, just drivers for various Dell and Lenovo models. During the injection phase, I noticed that all of the driver names started with "Microsoft." If these are Microsoft drivers, why can't they verify their own signatures? Is there any way around this? Would it be possible to disable all of these Microsoft drivers? I'd really like to use the build and capture approach instead of doing everything manually. I certainly do not want to build a reference image on physical hardware.

Thanks


Jason
